Many pathogenic microorganisms invade mammalian and/or plant cells by producing polysaccharide-degrad-ing enzymes (lyases and hydrolases). Mammalian glycosaminoglycans and plant pectins that form part of the cell surface matrix are typical targets for these microbial enzymes. Unsaturated glycoside hydrolase catalyzes the hydrolytic release of an unsaturated uronic acid from oligosaccharides, which are produced through the reaction of matrix-degrading polysaccharide lyase. This enzymatic ability suggests that unsaturated glycoside hydrolases function as virulence factors in microbial infec-tion. This review focuses on the molecular identification, bacterial distribution, and structure/function relationships of these enzymes. In contrast to g...
